Former Vice President Joe Biden is the ultimate family man… because everything he does seems to benefit his own family! Now blockbuster new revelations show that he may be shaping his presidential platform to boost his own family’s wealth and business connections.
Biden is competing with Elizabeth Warren over whose policies are toughest, and both say they’re committed to fighting “environmental racism.”
But the former veep may be using the issue in a jaded scheme to line his family’s pockets.
Biden wants to spend $5 trillion fighting “climate change” and calls the Green New Deal proposed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “a crucial outline” for where he’d like to take the country.
As part of that plan, Biden’s campaign website says that, as president, he will “stand up to the abuse of power by polluters who disproportionately harm communities of color and low-income communities.”
That notice went live online on June 4. It turns out, that’s the same day a law firm his brother is working for filed a lawsuit trying to collect damages for “environmental and health damages to poor communities” of color.
What a coincidence!
What’s more, this lawsuit could be worth billions of dollars.
The Berman Law Group in Boca Raton, Florida, hired Joe’s younger brother, Frank Biden, last July to oversee “government relations.” That’s a fancy term for lobbying.
The firm is suing Florida sugar markers for burning sugar cane at the end of the growing season. The company says the practice pollutes the air in Palm Beach County…and since most of the people living in the nearby properties are minorities, that’s racist.
Forget the fact that 100,000 burns have taken place since 2014 and, according to the defendants, “Decades of independent air quality monitoring and data show that our communities…have some of the best air quality in the entire state, better than the state average, year after year.”
Facts don’t matter when there’s money to be made—big money—by raiding the bank accounts of U.S. Sugar, Florida Crystals, and a dozen other profitable corporations.
The lead attorney who filed the class action lawsuit on June 4, Zach West says the amount he’s asking for “is going to be enormous”…and Joe Biden’s brother is counting on getting his share of that cash.
The Florida Sun-Sentinel reported that, “When asked whether that cost could be in the billions, West demurred and said he was not ready to put a figure on it. But Biden, sitting quietly in the corner, nodded his head.”
The idea of cashing in on billion-dollar deals always has the Biden family nodding, whether they’re in Boca Raton, Beijing, or Kiev.
When a reporter asked Frank Biden about the fact that his brother’s campaign statement dropped the same day as his multi-billion dollar lawsuit, Frank said it was all a coincidence.
The timing was “absolutely serendipitous,” Frank Biden said. “There was absolutely no coordination.”
But the suspicious timing, and the Biden’s family’s history of dirty backdoor deals, has people smelling a rat.
The details are identical to another game of influence peddling involving the Democratic Party’s presidential frontrunner.
The same brother, Frank Biden, admitted he used his brother to pull strings to pass legislation in exchange for pay in the past.
Frank Biden and Florida State Senator Joe Apuzzo worked with then-Vice President Biden to pass a law favored by an oil heiress.
What’s more, Frank admitted the whole thing in a video posted to YouTube. It was marked “unlisted,” but The Horn News posted it online—you can view it right here.
The heiress paid Biden and Apuzzo to get the law passed, and “My brother’s long-term relationships in the Senate proved to be the final nail in the coffin to be able to pull this thing forward,” Frank says, looking straight into the camera.
Frank Biden said his brother even got former President Barack Obama to push the law through Congress.
It was such a success that the Berman Law Group hired Frank Biden and Joe Apuzzo for this deal, too.
The duo already pulled Joe Biden’s strings once…and it sure looks like they’re doing it again.
It’s a pattern: Clients pay Biden’s family members for access to Joe Biden, who uses his influence to do their bidding. The Biden family pads its pockets with fat-cat lobbyists’ money, and Americans have to live with the policy.
Critics say the “environmental racism” charge is ridiculous and “attacks the very farming that supports all the jobs in our communities”–but it would enrich the Bidens, so they’re all for it.
It’s the same pattern with Joe’s son, Hunter Biden, in Ukraine and China.
Joe and Frank’s brother Jimmy Biden said the ex-veep would help him sell an oral rinse for cancer patients by using his political connections.
Jimmy Biden gave up the Biden family confidence and influence-peddling industry.
“Don’t worry about investors,” Jimmy told investors in the Florida cancer-risk scheme. “We’ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden.”
Joe Biden’s “environmental racism” policy proves that those investments pay off… at the American people’s expense.
